new shinra-bansho album releasing at next reitaisai (8th may)!

Alright, so for a bit more of news roundup: there seems to be a massive controversy among fans and in discussion groups about the release of Blue Reimu. Problems range from lazy design and animations to the insanely poor rate to gein her, the whole new Epic FES tier, the fact Blue Reimu needs a completely new kind of paper doll from the norm and Divine types (apparently, JP players received at least 1 of those new papers), and the fact this banner does not contain the Pity mechanic there has been a bit of discussion about the whole problem of powercreep among the newly introduced characters ZUN seems to have been invited for the 2 years anniversary of JP server Besides the Mayumi and Yachie banner, there seems to be nothing else important coming in the following week in Global Here are 3 discussions on some of the ongoing controversies I will report again with a status update when something new or interesting will be discussed at the community level

So I could give two different answers here. First is the "real" answer because it was legitimately my first, which would be Genso Rondo on PS4 ( no dlc :c ) which to this day is an absolute blast and one of my favourite games. It's a style of game I wish was more common because it's super fun and interesting, and I wish I had more people to play with. But as far as actual proper, official, main games goes, my first is Imperishable Night. My friend who's into Touhou told me to play it, I had no idea who any of the characters were or what the heck was going on or even what the games were actually about at the time, but I had a great time and I look back fondly on that first run. (which ended really quickly to probably a fairy)

Wandering Souls was the first Touhou game I ever played in late 2013, which then led to my mate showing me EoSD on his MAMEcade (it was also the first one I completed on Normal too). It is funny me using that initialism now so freely because back then, I had no idea at all what they represented when the titles of the tunes flashed up at the beginning of each section of that particular game, such as "PoFV - Spring Lane ~ Colorful Path" for example. Then again, you are looking at someone who had no idea a certain shrine maiden was the long-running protagonist of the series either. (^_^;)

Wait, you say that that mods and admin team for LW Global is more active than for any other gacha game that was brought from Japan? Also yeah, many times JP creators seem to only care about their local community, although I do feel like I have this pinions about most of the Touhou fan stuff created in Japan, and not just games like Lost Word. Also, by "big freebies" you mean how generous the game has been recently? I think I have already expressed my opinion on the matter, and why I think this whole attitude of the game seems a bit fishy and questionable to me.

Looks like we are actually gonna get Mayumi starting from today, 5th of May, together with Yachie in a banner. Guess there will be some maintenance beforehand?

I honestly have not checked if this song has already been mentioned in here, but I discovered this recently thanks to one of Asprey's livestreams. I think I did listen to it for like a hour when he played Spell Bubble as the challenge level was hard to get over during that livestream, then I decided to search the song for myself. I was not disappointed. So anyway, ladies and gentlemen, here is Flame of Fate from THE OTHER FLOWER Also this cool metal cover from YaboiMatoi for Immemorial Marketeers (bonus Mike GyateGyate)

Holding this off till last minute (this time intentionally). The show must go on! situation report (feat. Merami Pop & Yui Katsuragi[?]) - Broken Dreams The vocalists sound like they're competing with their different melodies toward the end, and this works really well with the arrangement's dark metal. Not something I'd expect for a PC-98 theme, but it works really well. Artifex - Hakurei ~ Eastern Wind (Remastered) Technically, this is the first song in Touhou for a proper curtain fire level. There's the ominous build up into leisurely melody, followed by a rapid series of close-together notes before dropping suddenly back to the opening build up; there may not be much to it materially, but all together it makes for a perfect introduction. Himi no Yuri - Attack! Attack!! Attack!!! I'll always have less to say about pieces I had to post, since I've necessarily said something already in the description. It was completely coincidence that I had a Eurobeat piece prepared for today; be sure to check out busker's feature in the post above.

Time is short today, so I have to get this in when I can. Also, reviewing earlier posts reminding me of alternative post formatting options. Oshio Hakumu - Swordsman of a Distant Star Possibly my favorite TH1 themes, though remixes rarely do it justice. This piece, though labeled as dubstep, has a restraint to it that creates a surreal tone; this compliments the pizzicato lead instrument, keeping the melody distinct. Violet Delta - Reconciliation Violet Delta hosted an album project for multiple remixes of this track, but this is my favorite. Hard to go wrong with VD synthwave. Northwich Committee of Magic Researches - Shrine of Tempest The forgotten track, replaced by the infamous Theme of Eastern Story in the Untouched Scores. This remix features heavy percussion reminiscent of the Oriental style, and I think it manages to balance out (perhaps a bit chaotic in the last third).

i found gold also i managed to track down the artist, they make good stuff believe it or not https://music.163.com/#/artist?id=12611077

I've been experimenting with different searching strategies to see if I can get different results. Doing the same search in Japanese seems to be somewhat effective; I've become as familiar with the appearance of "アレンジ" as I've previously been with "東方." In future, I intend to try VPN effects. Happy Resurrection Day!
